| 20100240869 | GENE RELATED TO GROWTH PROMOTING FUNCTION OF ACETIC ACID BACTERIUM, ACETIC ACID BACTERIUM BRED USING THE GENE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING VINEGAR USING THE ACETIC ACID BACTERIUM - The present invention is to obtain a novel gene that encodes a protein having a function of promoting acetic acid bacterial growth in the presence of a high concentration of acetic acid; to enhance acetic acid bacteria's function of promoting growth and thereby to develop acetic acid bacteria with an improved fermentation ability in the presence of a high concentration of acetic acid; and to provide a method for efficiently producing vinegar that contains a high concentration of acetic acid in a short time using the acetic acid bacterium. A novel gene having a function of improving the function of promoting growth at a practical level was cloned from acetic acid bacteria for practical use, belonging to the genus | 09-23-2010 |
